Do I need a parking pass/decal?

Anyone who has ever been affiliated with WSU (i.e. admitted or former students, alumni, faculty/staff, etc.) must pay to park on campus Monday-Friday from 7 a.m.-5 p.m. You must register your vehicle license plate(s) and purchase an electronic parking permit (ePermit). You can register a maximum of five (5) vehicles (car, truck, SUV and motorcycle) that will be associated with your ePermit. Only one (1) vehicle registered to your permit is allowed on campus at a time. ePermits are not required for:

• Weekends
• Holiday breaks 
• Evenings after 5 p.m. – any lot excluding reserved spaces and the parking garage
• Summer semester – open parking in green and yellow-and-green striped lots
• University closed (i.e. inclement weather)
• WSU satellite location
• WSU West, WSU South and WSU Downtown Center
• Disabled veterans are not required to pay to park but must register their license plate, complete a form and provide appropriate documentation

Note: Open parking, in the student lots only, begins the day after spring finals until the day before regular fall classes begin. Winter break: student parking opens the day after fall finals and resumes when regular classes (not precession) do.

ePermits will be required in yellow lots while campus is open, this includes times when classes are not in session.
